BioInvent söker Research Scientist In vivo

At BioInvent, we are world experts on antibodies and tumor immunology, and we strive for developing first or best-in-class immuno-modulatory antibodies to treat cancer; new drugs that have the potential to transform cancer treatment and the quality of life of cancer patients. At BioInvent we carry out all aspects of drug development, including preclinical research, manufacturing, and clinical development. Together we are creating an exciting future for patients, for our company employees and for our investors. We welcome you to be part of it – as a Research Scientist In vivo.


Key Responsibilities
As a Research Scientist In vivo, you will be part of our engaging Research department and the Preclinical team.
The team's main assignment is to characterize different target structures, and antibodies against them, and validate their importance for cancer development and progression.
Qualities such as a large amount of flexibility, problem solving ability and understanding of the various biological issues are important to meet the daily challenges and to enjoy and thrive in this position.
Your key responsibilities will primarily involve independently designing, planning, and performing In vivo experiments in several different tumor models in mice, with the aim to evaluate antibodies and oncolytic viruses' ability to kill or modify various tumor-associated immune cells. The work also includes isolation of immune cells from different organs for characterization and set-up of ex vivo assays for further understanding of mode-of-action. Documentation, information, and communication, both internally and externally, is also part of your work. As we strive to continuously improve and optimize our processes, method development will also be included in the tasks.
In the daily work there is a lot of focus on in vivo experiments, but it also includes assays where you use multi-color flow cytometry, ADCC, apoptosis, phagocytosis, or inhibition of cell proliferation. Other relevant methods are ELISA or multiplex techniques such as MSD. In several model systems, co-cultures of primary tumor material and a variety of functional tests are used.
Requirements
You have relevant academic education, preferably with PhD in immunology/oncology. Experience of in vivo work (preferably FELASA certified) is a requirement. Experience from working with oncolytic viruses and from the industry is an advantage.
You are proficient in written and spoken English.
Skills and Capabilities
We are looking for an efficient, driven, and creative person who can work in a structured and thorough manner and is able to take on the responsibility required to complete various tasks. We want you to have a strong desire to develop and learn new things, a positive attitude, a strong commitment and good communication and collaboration skills. You understand the importance of achieving results, meeting deadlines, and ensuring high quality in your work. You are confident in your professional role, self-motivated and proactive and enjoy creating results and achieving goals both individually and together with your team. In addition, the work requires a flexible way of thinking to quickly find solutions to new issues and flexibility in being able to help where needed.
